Tour interior designer and blogger Jacquelyn Clark of Lark & Linen‘s rental apartment! See how she created a bright and welcoming home despite space constraints and get her budget-friendly decorating tips, DIY inspiration and more.
Jacquelyn used rugs to divide the open-concept rental apartment into zones, and created focal points to define the separate areas. A gallery wall with photos of her travels and drawings centers the dining room, while a simple mirror over the fireplace makes a subtle statement in the living room. To save money on furniture, Jacquelyn refurbished family heirlooms with a fresh coat of paint and new hardware. The blogger lives with her boyfriend, so contrasted the apartment’s soft palette with masculine elements, like a DIY bookshelf made of pipes. A wall above the office space painted in stripes is the main attraction in the apartment.

This is beautiful! Rr
No drilling holes and painting tutorials please! It’s a great looking makeover but not at all practical for the broke ass folks like myself!
The place looks WAY more feminine than masculine. Big surprise, women got her way.
Why would anyone want to rip up a real parquet floor?
Grey & white is blah & boring
never showed the kitchen area 🙁
No personality here with the sterile white walls and book spines facing the walls.
Would be a much better video if she didn't have such a damn creaking voice. geezus – intolerable!
Why are people so negative (I hate this,ugle,hate your voice) what is your problem,just woke up mean.
Where did you get those lamps? Thanks
AMAZING!
Very interesting. I am definitely going to steal a couple of ideas here. Oh, and to the pricks in the comments section, for god's sake, stop bitching. This is THEIR house.
I have noticed recently that decorators shelve books with the book spines reversed. Why? For privacy? CMJ.
I disliked this video for a couple of reasons- 1) there is no flow of theme from one space to another, everything looks mismatched. 2) the style is all over the place, from industrial to contemporary to mid-century modern. 2) there is no balance of shapes in any space, everything just seems rectangular everywhere
Lucky so was not allowed to rip out the lovely wooden parquet
LETS GET BASIC!
Poor guy..
Love it
I would rip out the parquet floor as well. As a European it feels outdated to me, plus I don't like parquet floors.
I want to turn all the books with the spine facing outward…🤣🤣
You did a great job of mixing the two styles.
Design AD-D I love it…haha…yes just 1 more thing or change something you're bored of. 😂
It is ALL feminine…minus the book case

Good job Jacquelyn, truly a stylish, affordable and unique interior decor. Accessories like wall-art, rugs, curtains, cushions, plantations etc do change the look of the room, especially rugs. I bought a rug from http://www.deluxerugsncarpets.com.au and it has created a more cohesive feel and look to my room.
Love the stripes on the bump-out. 🙂 Always good to double-check your lease as to whether paint is allowed. If so, go for it!
LOL gender norms!
